The Computer Science Master’s program is for students who would like to advance beyond the undergraduate level of professional competence or to prepare for future doctoral study. The curriculum includes a balance between theory and applications and is built around a core of required courses in the basic areas of computer science. Through an appropriate selection of elective courses and thesis topic, students may choose either a theory emphasis or an applications emphasis.

The program can normally be completed in two years or less with the appropriate undergraduate education or work experience. The Accelerated Master’s Program can help our undergrads earn the MS degree in as little as one extra year!
